Even if human attacks are effective and kill some rats, they cannot stop the rat swarm's advance, and many humans are even injured as a result.
Although no one bitten by rats is currently in life-threatening danger, rats themselves carry many germs, and now that they have mutated, being bitten by a rat naturally poses a great risk.
However, the current medical situation is not optimistic. Only simple disinfection and bandaging can be performed, and even vaccines cannot be administered.
Because most of the original hospitals collapsed severely, most of the medical equipment was unusable, and very few advanced equipment survived.
Although a considerable amount of medical supplies were recovered after the earthquake, many were also consumed during the rescue efforts.
With medicines running low, coupled with a shortage of medical personnel and expensive medical equipment, the rat infestation has only exacerbated the already dire situation.
The rats, having devoured all the food, did not linger in the city; they quickly spread like a tide towards the forests surrounding the city.
Wherever the rats went, all the fruits and plants were devoured.
The once vibrant city ruins, teeming with life and covered in vegetation, were restored to their previous state of decay overnight by the swarms of rats.
In the forests outside the city, wherever the rats go, the vegetation is devoured, as if a locust swarm has swept through, leaving not a single leaf behind.
But even the most rampant rats have natural enemies, and in this mutated world, there are even more of them.
The snakes, birds, and rats, drenched in rain and starving, all had their eyes light up the moment they saw the swarm.
The rats that entered the forest were hunted down so quickly that almost none survived before they could cause much damage. If humans knew this, they would probably be speechless.
As the mutation rate of animals continues to increase, humans are clearly at a disadvantage. Without technology to rely on, their combat power has decreased significantly.
This rainstorm, which presented both crisis and opportunity, clearly did not benefit humanity. Those with "high intelligence" naturally avoided the rain and would not easily take risks.
People as crazy as Amer are a minority, and even fewer of them will survive ten days of heavy rain.
The awakening of superpowers is humanity's only guarantee of survival, but unfortunately, the awakening rate is still very low. Although researchers are working hard to uncover the truth about awakening and develop drugs to induce it.
Even in the capital of Xia, where most of the research teams had been repaired, there was still no progress.
With the speed of reconstruction expended by the power of a single nation, the equipment they used was almost identical to that before the major earthquake, but they were unable to make any progress in researching either spiritual energy or the energy carried by the heavy rain.
These energies seem to belong to another world, with a completely new system, entirely different from the world they inhabit.
Humans cannot fathom these entirely new energies using the known matter, energy, and rules of this world.
Researchers are either madmen or geniuses. After these energies appeared, the former madmen became geniuses. They disregarded life and death and used themselves as experimental grounds.
Those who are lucky achieve a breakthrough; those who are unlucky have no future.
A genius can easily become a madman; the collapse of their knowledge and learning can be enough to destroy a person's mind.
